Produced by GP Films, the film was released on July 21, 1988. Critic Lav Diaz gave Ang Supremo a mixed review, criticizing the film's confusing setting as to whether or not it is about the historical Hukbalahap guerrilla group or the contemporary New People's Army, though he still considered it an adequate action film.

Critical response

Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, criticized the unclear setting of Ang Supremo's story as to whether or not it is about the defunct Hukbalahap, a socialist guerilla group formed during World War II, or the contemporary New People's Army, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines. Diaz also pointed out that the film never used the word "Huk" or any other term referring to the Hukbalahap, adding to the confusion. However, he stated that Ang Supremo is still a fine action film, commending its contextualization of rebellions as chiefly caused by people's suffering in rural areas.^[2]
